Fascinating. Is “the future of transportation” shutting down access if you don’t conform to en vogue cultural shibboleths?

Nice work!

I think it's pretty clear that, in addition to the very hard sell, it's a design nightmare.

A good book that demonstrates how hyper-capitalism is inconsistent with Democratic rule is The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein.

They could be augmented with datacenters for a distributed search index that is based on open source software.

God bless Jacobin. And bless Glenn for being one of the few rational voices in the media making sense of actual findings in this investigation.

The next social network I join will be decentralized with a heavy focus on design and usability. Gtfo

Oh heck ya! I will search the net for Hellgate Venture. I don't know if there is any PMing here.

I wouldn't say Missoula is far off into the woods, but maybe that's just where you want to be; sorry if I misunderstood you.

I think about remote work drying up often, but I think if remote work dried up for me it would mean there was a major shift in the industry, so I don't think anyone would be safe from that.

Being near an urban center would mean that you could possibly pound the pavement for a new job in a major city a lot easier. If the industry changes massively, will being near an urban center mean there will still be a lot of jobs there? Maybe? Maybe not.

It is a great town. Very friendly people. Beautiful valley. Really looking forward to summer! :)

There's avocados in them thar hills!

I lived in San Francisco for the past seven years, but moved to Missoula, Montana because living in the city and even surrounding places like Oakland, South Bay was increasingly way too expensive. I count myself lucky that I am self-employed and work in an industry that I can easily do remote work as the job prospects in Missoula mostly center around low-wage service work.

At the end of the day, I moved to Missoula so I can do my part as a millennial and start buying diamonds again.

I can appreciate how European Mesolithic cultures dealt with the corrupt CEOs of their big banks.

Lol

Lol America. Where walkable streets are justified by economics and not humanities.

Ironic. Vox exemplifies this.

Could have fooled me

sanctimonious bloviating

He is criticizing Twitter for being something it isn't.

It's a shame this made it to the front page of ycombinator news.

Troll bait. Missing the point.

While it does flex, I won't be spending that kind of money on something like that until it folds up in my pocket.

Of all the books I read (or listened to) The Trauma of Everyday Life: A Guide to Inner Peace by Mark Epstein was the most life changing in that it made me more conscious of myself and my emotions, both of which I find difficult to understand.

Some other great ones:

The Neurobiology of We - Daniel Siegel (lots of stuff on interdependence here)

Zealot - Reza Aslan (a great book detailing the life of the man, Jesus of Nazareth)

1984 - George Orwell (I think very topical)

The Field - Lynne McTaggert (some "woo" but thought provoking)
